More Being Human! *YES* I love how he keeps going on about how it's a *young* drama popular with *young* viewers. And the young at heart, buddy.

That's Danny Cohen. His song, to be sung to Monty Python's 'Spam', goes something like this:
Young, young, young, young,
Young, young, young, young,
Youngetty, young
Youngetty, young
He was, of course, the obvious target of insider blog Secret Diary of a TV Controller (aged 33 and 3/4), as a result.

Belated happy birthday to the lovely Mrs Medium: may she continue to be tolerant of these readers' madness and how Rob feeds it.
Had to comment as well on the demise of Demons: bless it, what had they been thinking? Glenister needs better than that.

Triple hurrah for the return of Being Human. Great news. Didn't read the Daily News properly yesterday because we were recovering from my other half's birthday the day before Mrs Medium's. So belated happies to her too.
I no longer care that Demons was so crap as Being Human has been so good. But I am amazed that anyone could have made Philip Glenister so unsexy. I have liked him in everything I've seen him in apart from this...
